Okay, I tried to reproduce the bug more carefully, so I can give a better report. Here are the details:
I downloaded the 9.04 (alpha3) AMD64 live desktop CD. I booted from it, using it as a live CD. I ended up with a plain white screen. Hitting ctrl-alt-backspace had no visible effect. When I tried to switch to a virtual terminal using ctrl-F1, ctrl-F2, etc., the screen when from all white to all black, and my monitor (the actual monitor) overlaid a message indicating that it's in 1920x1200 resolution. This is the only time I've ever seen my monitor bother to tell me that, and I don't know why it was doing it this time. Hitting ctrl-F7 brings me back to the all-white screen. I cannot give you and xorg.conf or xorg.0.log files, because this is a Live environment, which leaves no history on the hard drive and cannot be SSH'ed into. -- White screen of death - no escape https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314897 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
